Monarch: Legacy of Monsters premiered in 2023 to expand Legendary’s MonsterVerse franchise by further exploring the time between 2014’s Godzilla and its sequel, Godzilla: King of the Monsters. It quickly became one of the best shows on Apple TV, and now Monarch Season 2 is set to hit the 2026 TV schedule.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 picks up immediately after the Season 1 ending, with some new faces like Amber Midthunder joining the cast. Let’s get to the reviews, as David Caballero of Collider rates Season 2 a 7 out of 10, saying that while it’s far more uneven than the first season, it delivers the spectacle.
